An Expansion Idea On Capture, Mobile Defense, And/or Other Missions

[Sir.X]

So, after attempting to complete all the missions on the System, I just got around to thinking of something:

 

What if these types of missions offered greater rewards than just "complete the objective"?

 

If you think about it though, these can be defined as "Specialist" missions, which require more effort than just "Eliminate everyone" or "Assassinate the target".

 

Say for example, you go into one of these Specialist missions and complete the objective. You will then receive a message from the Lotus:

Tenno,

The completion of the Objective has revealed a hidden high-security X mission located on X . Be warned, there is a high concentration of Eximus units and heavily amour-ed enemies. Completion of the mission may prove challenging, however you will be greatly rewarded for doing so.

When you are ready, go and complete the mission.

 

 

So which missions are defined as Specialist missions?

Interception

Spy

Capture

Mobile Defense (Archwing included)

Deception

Rescue

 

But what types of missions will you play that are hidden?

 

1. Excavation: only one extractor, has higher health but takes longer to finish.

2. Spy vault: tripping alarms instant-fails the mission. Only one vault to hack.

3. Hijack: Larger vehicle to defend, moves slower and will leech health.

4. Hidden Resource cache: spy-style mission that will destroy the cache room if you trip the alarms.

5. Archwing Hijack: Lead the ship into the void, no low-level enemies.

6. Submerse Excavation, Cache, and Hijack: self-explanatory.

7. Sabotage: High health and guarded, will get away if you don't destroy it fast enough

 

The rewards that you receive depend on the secret mission you are given, however there is a catch on this:

1. You are Guaranteed one or more rare resources and mods if you complete the mission.

2. The types of mods and resources you will receive will depend on the level of the Specialist mission.

This is meant to be as much anti-RNG as possible, so that no matter how many times you complete any of these missions, you will always get an even chance of an award.

 

So, what are your current thoughts and opinions? Any form of feedback is appreciated, and I will continue to add more ideas to this.

Thanks.
